On my iGoogle front page, in my news gadget I noticed this story, and against my better judgment – I clicked. Why, oh why?
Fucking PeTA.
Are you serious?
I mean are you seriously, really, serious?
You liken breeders to the Klu Klux Klan? The KKK?
Do you not see the more valid comparison of your organization to them, rather than that of breeders and dog shows? Well…I’ll be happy to break it down for you.
Domestic dogs were created. They were bred, selectively for particular traits over hundreds of years. Those that are recognized by the AKC have been established for decades. Breeders – good breeders, reputable breeders, responsible breeders – are ensuring that the lines and characteristics of these breeds are not lost amongst the inferior specimens resulting from backyard breeders and puppy mills. They are making sure that there are always good, stable, certain dogs of their particular breeds in population.
Yes, there are millions of dogs dying every year in shelters and on the street. I won’t even go into how thousands of them die at your hands, PeTA – at your over sized facility, stored in your freezer until they can be cremated and disposed of discreetly. Or how sometimes you don’t even murder them humanely, euthanizing them in the backs of vans and dumping their carcasses in grocery store dumpsters.
But eliminating *responsible* breeding will not help. Only demanding that the entire population of companion animals in existence right now be spayed or neutered will and I don’t have to tell you that that’s impossible. And since it is impossible, all we can do is encourage and even enforce responsible ownership. People failing to alter their animals is where the problem lies.
Responsible breeders actually screen the people that they release their animals to. They place spay/neuter clauses in their contracts and will always accept back an unwanted animal, no matter the reason, no matter the age or condition. They are devoted to the animals that they produce and do everything in their power to ensure that they are in good, loving homes. What do you do besides complain and waste money? Nothing.
Now, you know what’s more alike to the Klu Klux Klan than maintaining purebreds? Hmmm?
It’s Breed Specific Legislation, PeTA. And you support that, don’t you? Not only are for the eradication of seeing eye dogs and therapy animals, but you actually recommend that all Pit Bulls and dogs resembling Pit Bulls amongst other supposedly ‘dangerous’ breeds be euthanized, simply for being what they are – what they were born – regardless of whether or not they’ve committed any wrong doing. Sound familiar? Sound more logical of an argument for accusations of bigotry than simply breeding? Yeah…
And you have the nerve to attack or protest Michael Vick? While he did was despicable and I would love to see him rot in hell with the remains of the animals he tortured and murdered – you are worse. You bask in your hypocrisy and do anything and everything you can to garner attention – to photograph the newest hot celebrity no matter what they *really* believe.
Dogs are dying.
People are still not altering their pets.
People are still dumping animals on the streets for stupid reasons.
With all the millions of dollars you bring in from ignorant animal lovers you could have countless Animal Sanctuaries around the world, housing for life the animals needing homes. Yet you’d rather kill them and keep it moving – prosecuting fast food chains and purchasing billboards.
Well fuck you PeTA. I take great offense at your audacity.
I hope that one day, after all of the eyes in the world have been opened to your bullshit that you will crumble.

On another note, a good bloggy friend of mine who will be redesigning my blog for me this month is hosting a contest. Her name is Courtney but you can call her Judith Shakespeare. You should go check her out and fiend over the contest prize.

i.
am.
appalled.
kudos to your post. to you.
Don’t get me started on backyard breeders. We bought our bulldog from one. We go to court next week with her. I researched bulldogs and asked her IN PERSON about the health of her dogs and that bitch lied to my face. And then she says that if for any reason we can’t keep her then she wants her back. When we called her to tell her about her cherry eyes and demodex mange she said if we weren’t happy with the dog, we should get rid of her. What the fuck kind of breeder are you? Oh thats right you aren’t a breeder but a money hungry bitch. I hope we win in court because I don’t want her to be able to sell sick dogs to unsuspecting families. My son loves our dog and no matter what is wrong with her, we’re gonna keep her because she is part of our family. Not some object to toss away if I’m not happy. Oh I HATE that bitch!!
The latest from Tiffany…It’s all about me
I do the job with these dogs and as far as animal behavior goes, I am a solid believer in nurture and education. I have met Jack Russell Terriers that I wouldn’t go around once again, but have in no way had a awful encounter with an American Staffordshire Terrier. If you’re talking about their owners- well, which is a different story. Humans are creatures as nicely, and we often each have our personal tips about “moral concepts”.
